id prefer to run just one battery. why not use 1 4s instead of 2 2s'?
If you're comfortable soldering, switching the XT90 connector on ECS to EC5 opens up your pre-wired battery options. It is much more popular in 6S category as it is rated for higher amperage. At least for the brands I shop coming from large scale helicopters
Interesting article. I agree with some comments, but you would have to change your ESC Lipo cut off anytime the weather changes according to SMC? I've been using both dual batteries in pairs for years now, and w/o any problems. I always use/charge/store my dual batteries together in pairs + I do not have more than 2 batteries exactly the same, so never get them mixed up. I used to check my batteries all the time after using or charging, using the charger "test mode" & the cells have always been closely balanced each time. There is no problem using dual batteries instead of a single battery, as many 6S vehicles even come with dual battery trays.im not but i need to find someone who can assist. well, i need to find someone who can do this for me. i want to run it right and after speaking with Danny at SMC, he said running 1 battery is better than running 2. of course he forwarded me an article. here it is....

so im not sure what ill do. i need to recruit someone to do this. i can wrench, but im not going to solder.
If you want to come to Minnesota I'll solder them up for free and give you all my XT90 connectors haha. Probably not worth the trip though.

If you plan to solder to a single connector, just pick the battery of your choice (that's in stock), then just solder the same connector on your ESC, as it does not matter what connector you use then. However, I would use either EC5(120amp continuous) or XT90 (90amp continuous) connectors, as they are both good, and better than other connectors. The EC5 connector does look lighter? Also, I'm not sure you will notice a difference between the EC5 and XT90 connectors, as even the smaller XT60 (60amp) can handle a 180A burst, and the XT90 I've heard can easily handle over double or triple it's rated current. The XT90 will easily handle any 4S or 6S batteries. The XT90 can even take up to a 8 gauge wire. Arrma also gives you extra XT90 connectors, so no cost to this route. Again, it's your choice, especially now that you are now going to solder the ESC wire to single.yes. i found one to do this. so, if i run 1 battery, and i make all the proper changes to the ESC. do i still get an xt90 connector for my battery or would it change for some reason?
